Chadwick Boseman: Meet Mr. James Brown

[@mamashiraz]

Chadwick Boseman didn’t act in this movie. He channeled James Brown’s spirit. RIP King💔 #wakandaFOREVER

[@MarciaK-G..79]

Yes!

[@nadinewebster5861]

Yes; I Truly Believe That.......

[@theresareepadilla9699]

👍 YES 👍

[@Tenya764]

This year sucks big times...I can't stop watching Chadwick's videos on you tube 😭😭😭

[@taylorreed1580]

Tenyalinda Tenyalinda me too

[@gwengriffin7987]

I remember seeing James Brown in concert when I was a Little girl and Chadwick Boseman embodied Jame Brown in this movie. Everything I saw in James Brown, Chadwick Boseman embodied it. When I watched this movie it was as if I was that little girl watching James Brown in Concert. R.I.P. James Brown & Chadwick Boseman!! Well done!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯

[@geo386]

It was sad to see such a talented actor passing. In this interview its mentioned what a powerful performer he is.

[@DiosanXaquerry]

* was :(

[@alonzojneloms8765]

Mr.Boseman, he didn't disappoint in this role! Like Jamie Fox with the Ray Charles story! You get lost in this story line! Forgetting you are watching Mr. Boseman! One hell of a performance. And we miss both Legends!

[@alonzojneloms8765]

Like Little Richard. James Brown was ahead of his time! Trailblazers or God Father's of their Arts and Music! We miss them! I love Black Excellence!

[@barbarajeppe1695]

What a blessing he was.

[@caneidavis4284]

True.

[@breezygirl3135]

Ugh, I wish we could have him back 💕💕💕💕💕😭😭😭😭

[@Tenya764]

😭😭😭

[@mercyriungu6913]

😢😢😢😢😢me too

[@ncamieramza5891]

I know, if we can go to God and ask him to bring back a celebrity it would be this guy. Not that everyone wasn't loved and appreciated but this guy there is something about him.

[@veronicajohnson7373]

We also lost Nylsan Ellis (Bobby Byrd)...another young talented man.

[@kaoskewenvoyouma2712]

Seems like everyone knows him best for Black Panther, but as for me I was introduced to Mr. Boseman as James Brown. R.I.P. THE FUNK DONT STOP!

[@tierracruz1783]

He was awesome .Playing James Brown He took my breath away. I thought I was watching James Brown for real.. He madeJames Brown proud

[@Hungrycyclist81]

Goosebumps every time ❗️

[@iam_kinsta]

To be diagnosed with the most difficult disease you can’t even tell he brung every strength of energy and life into this character in this movie wow🕊🕊💛

[@Ladilexi]

He TRULY was something SPECIAL. Still in disbelief. RIP Chadwick Boseman and Nelsan Ellis❤

[@classiseverything2me]

I literally watched this movie over and over......and over. His portrayal of James Brown continues to blow my mind and was soooooo Oscar worthy!!!!

[@Redd91ful]

same!!

[@ATL4LIFE2023]

I love this movie. He was and is GREAT. His passing still hurts daily. I find myself crying at times. But I know he is in a better place. He is not in anymore pain. You are so missed. 🙏

[@maryalston3884]

He was ahead of his time. I would love to have him back,not just as BLACK Panther but moreso as, Chadwick!

[@kellycunningham6815]

Breaks my heart. He's one of the few actors that seems so authentic. What a loss.

[@venessaabrams2856]

Chadwick was something special! He was touched "by an angel"! His light spread around the world! I guess Hollywood or the Oscar's will recognize him posthumously, but they missed a chance to give this man an Oscar while he was living. He played the hell of this role! RIP Chadwick! We love and miss you!

[@sheilataylor9591]

Agree 💯

[@lynneanderson4255]

He should've gotten Oscars for this role and Black Panther.

[@venessaabrams2856]

100!

[@breezygirl3135]

It’s chilling to hear Jill Scott talk about how she felt like she was mourning him. 😳😳😳

[@Mrs_SBIV]

Girl! That took me out!

[@Votethepower]

I know right! Jill Scott impresses me as being a very intuitive person, having a type of soul awareness. RIP Chadwick.

[@jawayne224]

I think she was talking about mourning James and not Chadwick

[@Votethepower]

@@jawayne224 She was. It just hits kinda deeply in an erie kind of way.

[@johjackson651]

I, as a professionally trained Method actor, know 'exactly' what she is talking about. It is 'other' level, and so profound, when you experience it!

[@joepeoples7449]

Chadwick left us too soon. Wish he were here a lot longer. Rest easy King.

[@jeannestrader6471]

So sad to have lost such great talent! We will miss Chadwick very much!

[@shannonD68]

Mr. Chadwick Boseman: A consummate artist actually being praised during a time when he was alive to see and hear it. "Give me flowers yet while I live". Rest in power Mr. Boseman and thank you for caring enough to make your tranformation of Mr. James Brown-funky!

[@curtistinemiller4646]

Chadwick was phenomenal in Get on up,He Embodied the role so well,I can watch Get on Up everyday...Fly high 🌥🌥⛅

[@rmontoya90066]

When I closed my eyes while listening perform, it was surreal. Indeed his performance was prestine on ALL levels! Chadwick Boseman was beyond amazing, his dedication, commitment and talent was impeccable, A true genius!!! Oh, how it pains my soul to know he's on a different realm, he touched and changed many generations! Our beloved Chadwick, we miss and love you beyond words. Thank you for your humility, poise, generosity, loving care for the two young children terminal patients who were patiently waiting for Black Pathers release, how you maintained in touch with them throughout production, and how deeply it affected when you learned of their passing, while you silently were fighting for your life! What a humble selfless kindred soul he had. He didn't like the spotlight, and always embraced his cast members in everything. What a great loss! Prayers and condolences to his beautiful wife and family. Rest In Peace! 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏

[@geegums6269]

when you are good, you are good Chadwick you may be gone but you will never be forgotten 💔💔💔R.I.P king

[@Ivluve]

Chadwick Boseman was such an incredible talent, so was Nelsan Ellis. They both did well in this movie. They were so young with such talent. May they both RIP.

[@tanyatremble583]

He was truly a God send and he understood his purpose in the earth and he fulfilled it❤❤😥

[@lorriekelly964]

This Man did such a great job as James ! You believe He was James ! Wow. Chad was just Gifted . He came and did what. He had to do in a short time. And He left his mark ! This was a Great Actor.

[@manofbeard]

When you watch James Brown dancing you can see where Prince got his inspiration for his own dance moves.

[@lyndajay4407]

And Michael Jackson too.

[@MrTPain]

Known.

[@hanjiang7645]

He definitely deserves an Oscar award.

[@alonzojneloms8765]

Like Jamie Fox with Ray Charles! Chadwick Boseman owned the part of James Brown! Blew my mind. The way he looked into the camera. Made you feel like the 3rd person going for the ride! Man! I would laugh so hard. You forget it was Chadwick! This dude is crazy funny! And serious. Man you didn't want to piss him off! When it came to his music...... It was a big deal to him! A escape to infinity and beyond!

[@uw1720]

RIP NELSAN ELLIS AND CHADWICK BOSEMAN

[@ladeewesley9019]

Chadwick was such a talented & beautiful soul who I really thought it was James Brown. I know only God knows and I know Chadwick sits in Gods heavens watching & waiting for us to join him. God rest Mr. Brown & Chadwick.

[@anthonytaylor1187]

He DEFINITELY SHOULD have WON an OSCAR for his AMAZING PERFORMANCE.

[@TheShabazzProduction]

One of my best movies. We dug the hell out James coming up. Baddest Brother walking! Chad tore it up!

[@joycefortice235]

Every person, actor, actress, the crew,the choreographer,,, that participated in this movie was "excellent" a very powerful movie of the **Godfather of Soul** and don't even mention the music, ,it took me back to the greatest times of my life, ,the 60s gee wiz I loved.💞 this movie way,,, before Chadwick Bozeman passed away,,see I'm a moviegoer and me and my daughter and grandson saw this movie when it first premiered 2014,,so I was already familiar with it ,,,Chadwick Bozeman just brought James Brown back alive on stage again. ... And wow now Chadwick Bozeman is gone what a horrible lost,,like one of James Brown songs,,"I lost Someone "a million too one a love one ,,yea we all lost someone now he and the real James Brown are in Heaven talking about their beautiful life on earth was if only.😲 for 1 day,, RIP Chadwick and James, ,you'll never ever be forgotten especially by me.

[@akarr9433]

True talent. So Blessed. Brother James was proud of him...well done. Now you two meet again....

[@Etten99]

As a kid, I practically lived at the Apollo Theatre in New York. I’ve seen James Brown perform live many times. Chadwick Boseman did a fabulous job...I just wish he had done JAMES BROWN’s Baseball skit with flickering lights simulating slow motion.

[@rubiesreal]

Chadwick we miss you. You were on loan from heaven and we should look at each other with the love you embodied. Rest in Paradise and Power Forevermore.

[@joselynjolivet337]

He embodied the spirit and charisma of James Brown in this movie.

[@mothersbloomingladiesofthe4679]

This guy was great, very talented, humble, God picked an Angel , What can we say!

[@dm19609721]

How Chadwick did not win an Oscar let alone be nominated is beyond me!

[@megablacktail]

Chadwick was such an amazing actor & human being. God bless. I'm sure he & James have met in heaven

[@dethiadungan9031]

Does ANYONE understand this young man's TALENT, HE played Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, James Brown, Icons in the black World, not too mention BLACK PANTHER, our God sent us a special Gift, Consider us Blessed!!

[@patriciawatson2977]

Totally Agree 👍🏾

[@mr.mackey9720]

@6:53 this guy was another good actor who died way too young.

[@theresareepadilla9699]

He Brought Mr. James Brown Back 😍 To Life...

What an amazing, and extraordinary gift he had has an actor. Surely you will be missed.

Life is so unfair, but God always takes his angels 👼🏾........R.I.P. Chadwick!!!!!

[@verlyndouglas]

No music or person has had a greater influence on me than James Brown. Chadwick nailed it!! I was a young white man learning bass in an all black band in the mid 60s and James Brown is what we played. What a way to cut your bass playing teeth! This movie was just fantastic! I'm nearly 70 now and still playing those tunes!

[@lucyw.mcmellan7274]

So much talent. God bless Chadwick Boseman! ❤🙏

[@dawnpenson1552]

Chad done a great job as James Brown. He learned the dance moves quick for the part. It made the movie brought James Brown back threw Chadwick. Hollywood always done black actors wrong knowing they done an outstanding role in movie parts. We may have judge Will Smith and his wife Jada for bringing it to attention years ago. To think about it they was right how black actors and actresses are done wrong in Hollywood

[@mikhailbashni8936]

For a god to take such a good man away at his prime tells me there is no good or wise god .... rest in peace Chadwick Boseman.

I can hardly remember, ever, a movie that one can celebrate the greatness at so many levels of so many talented people; James Brown himself (say hello to my brother up there, King; he’s your biggest fan!), Chadwick Boseman one of the greatest and possible The greatest actor/artist of his generation, Rolling Stones one of the greatest and definitely most iconic and ever lasting rock ‘n roll music group ever, Mick Jagger one of the most visionary artists Europe has ever produced… Real artists being themselves or play other great ones. Little Richard, Viola Davis, Dan Aykroyd… The list is so long for a commoner like myself to even comprehend, just as the vastness of universe for those who study it…
